Chapter 121 The Comparison of Weapons
Ning Shuyin's gaze shifted from the first aid kit back to Mu Ze's face.
"What...did they say?" she asked curiously.
Muze's expression became somewhat interesting, but he immediately suppressed it.
But Ning Shuyin always felt that he looked like he had just finished eating melon seeds.
Before Mu Ze spoke, he took out a storage stick.
"This is what Dr. Loran asked me to pass on. It contains a vital signs monitor. He said that after you install the program into the computer, he can provide you with a holographic diagnosis 24 hours a day."
Ning Shuyin's lips twitched.
After that, Muze took out a second storage stick.
"This was given to you by Mr. Zhou. It contains an unlimited payment password. After the computer is installed, you can use this password to pay for everything, including clothing, transportation, snacks, etc."
Ning Shuyin's lips twitched again.
Finally, Mu Ze pointed to Ning Shuyin's personal terminal: "The Marshal just remotely installed a new function module for you called Emergency Call. No matter where you are, as long as you press that red button, the nearest Alliance assault fleet will come to your aid. The Marshal said... this is to prevent you from being harassed by shady characters."
Ning Shuyin looked down.
A large red button has been added to the most prominent position on the optical computer interface, making it hard to ignore.
Ning Shuyin took a sip of her drink and continued, "So, this is the result of their negotiations?"
"Of course not."
"Huh?" Ning Shuyin was stunned.
Mu Ze said somewhat awkwardly, "Those were just earnest money for entering the game. Their formal negotiations are about your subsequent training schedule."
"Your Monday is for the Marshal to conduct combat training."
"oh."
"Tuesday is for Dr. Loran to regulate my body's functions. Wednesday is for Mr. Zhou, which is... a team building day for employees."
After he finished speaking, he opened a schedule.
"This is the schedule that has already been arranged. As for the other times, whoever gets an appointment first gets to use them."
As soon as Mu Ze finished speaking, Ning Shuyin's personal computer beeped three times.
Upon opening it, I found it contained schedules for the next few days. The three items were displayed side by side, resembling a classic Aquaman timetable.
After reading it, Ning Shuyin finally asked the question that had been on her mind: "So, Mu Ze, why... are you bringing a first aid kit?"
Mu Ze looked at the small box with a complicated expression: "Those three are very imposing. I'm worried about you, because being chased so closely might cause you a headache from the pressure. There is spirit leaf extract in here."
As he spoke, Muze opened the box and took out a green potion.
Ning Shuyin didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Seeing Ning Shuyin's speechless expression, Mu Ze quickly added, "Miss Ning, you don't need to worry too much. There's one more clause in this agreement, which is also the most important one."
"What is it? Tell me," Ning Shuyin said weakly.
Mu Ze looked around somewhat guiltily, as if he were about to secretly reveal some top-secret information.
"The three of them said that you can refuse any of their invitations."
Ning Shuyin was a little skeptical: "Refuse? They would agree?"
“Of course,” he said in a low voice. “You are now essentially holding three trump cards of different colors. If you refuse one side, the other two will stand by you.”
Mu Ze winked at her exaggeratedly.
Ning Shuyin understood. Any one of these three people could become a guarantee of her position to refuse the other two.
Therefore, if she doesn't want to, she can reject all three of them...
This is simply the most perfect three-sided defense.
Mu Ze originally thought Ning Shuyin would breathe a sigh of relief, or even show a sly smile, and then reject all her schedules in one go.
But her next move was beyond his expectations.
She looked down at the quantum computer.
[Situ Linchen's schedule invitation: Monday morning, gravity training room, one-on-one combat coaching.]
[Loran's schedule invitation: Tuesday morning, apartment training room, supernatural ability endurance training.]
[Zhou Zhiheng's schedule invitation: Wednesday morning, visit to the Lico Island Weapon Museum.]
Ning Shuyin tapped the screen three times in a flash.
agree.
agree.
agree.
Three clear confirmation sounds rang out. Mu Ze was surprised. He hadn't expected her to accept it all so readily.
Ning Shuyin put away her personal terminal, her expression calm.
Why refuse?
This is a deluxe package of power enhancement tailored for her by the alliance's top martial artist, most brilliant biologist, and wealthiest businessman.
Moreover, there is a perfect balance of power among them. None of them can do anything inappropriate to her.
Top-tier resources delivered to your doorstep—why not take them?
She stood up, slung the towel over her shoulder, turned to Fang Yan who had returned, and smiled, "I've rested enough, let's start the second round."
In the time that followed, she made rapid progress.
The men's covert competition has escalated from schedules to weapons.
On Monday, in the gravity training room, Situ Linchen personally brought her an alloy box.
"This is the Alliance's most advanced particle blade. I have customized a women's version for you based on different training intensities. There are versions that can be used for combat forces from F-level to SSS-level."
He stood beside her, his broad, calloused hand enveloping hers, adjusting her grip on the knife.
A calm breath brushed against her profile. As he spoke, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "In battle, the most important thing is focus."
He kept saying he was focused.
But it seemed like he was doing it on purpose. Every time he adjusted his posture, his chin would brush against her hair.
During her training, her black hair was tied up, revealing her delicate ear tips. It tempted him to want to press his lips to hers, but he managed to restrain himself just inches away.
Then, she looked away. Her cheeks, however, felt slightly flushed from the teasing.
On Tuesday, in the simulated environment of the Loran Apartments, Ning Shuyin finished a set of high-intensity dodge training.
She was panting, sweat streaming down her face.
With a light tap of her fingertip, Loran transformed the surrounding environment into a lush green bamboo forest.
The air is filled with the scent of grass and trees, and the sound of flowing water can be heard.
"Recovery agent." He handed over the drink, his voice as clear as a babbling brook in a bamboo forest.
Ning Shuyin took the drink and downed it in one gulp. Her muscles, which had been groaning with soreness, immediately felt relieved.
“Your heart was beating a little fast yesterday when you were with Situ.”
He noticed her outburst yesterday.
He didn't need her answer; he simply handed her a silver bracelet. It was plain and unremarkable, without any ornamentation or gemstones.
"This is your weapon." Loran fastened the bracelet to Ning Shuyin's wrist.
The cool metal touched her slightly warm skin, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
His long, slender fingers traced her pulse.
“This is a power amplifier,” Loran’s voice whispered in her ear.
"It's similar to my superpower. Of course, it's not as strong as a real superpowered person."
He raised his eyes, his deep red pupils like two clusters of ice flames.
“Its greatest advantage is actually…” He held her wrist, which was adorned with the bracelet, “I can feel it every time you use it.”
On Wednesday, at the weapons museum on Rico Island, a display room that resembles a small armory.
From ancient swords of the cold weapon era to cutting-edge conceptual weapons, everything is available.
Zhou Zhiheng took a rapid-fire pistol inlaid with exquisite gems from the display shelf and handed it to her.
"Try this one, the King of the Mountains. A collection of a fallen emperor from three thousand years ago, capable of leveling a mountain with a single shot." He said casually, "If you don't like it, there are more over there."
This isn't just a gift of weapons; it's a declaration of financial power.
"Go test your gun in my time-space repair pod. There, you can practice for as long as you want, and time will not pass."
